22 VE810 Engraver Manual
You would change the RPM of the engraving spindle depending on the type of material
you are engraving or for different sizes of engraving cutters. The harder the material you
are using, the higher the RPM you would use. Also, the larger the cutter you are using,
the higher the RPM you would use.
A rule of thumb for setting the spindle speed is to start out at a higher RPM. You can
gradually lower the RPM while the machine is working. Keep lowering the spindle speed
until the spindle sounds like there is a load (or drag) on the spindle. When you reach that
point, you should turn the spindle speed knob up a little bit.
3. Start - The start button is used to start the engraving machine. You can tell that there
is a job in the VE-810 when the green light next to the start button is flashing on and off.
When it is flashing, pressing the start button will start engraving. Also, if you have
pressed the pause or stop button to stop the engraving, pressing the start button will re-
start the job.
4. Pause - The pause button is used to momentarily stop the machine from engraving. If
you press the pause button while the machine is engraving, the VE-810 will wait until the
end of the current letter or logo that it is engraving and then lift the cutter up, shut the
engraving motor off and stop. Pressing the start button will resume the engraving where it
left off.
STOP
5. Stop - The stop button is used to stop the machine from engraving. If you press the
stop button while the machine is engraving, the VE-810 will stop immediately, shut the
engraving motor off and lift the cutter up and stop. Pressing the start button will resume
the engraving where it left off.
6. X & Y Jog buttons - The X & Y jog buttons are used to move the position of the spindle
on the T-Slot table work area. The X jog buttons will move the engraving spindle left and
right. The Y jog buttons will move the t-slot table front to back.
These buttons are generally used for setting the home position when engraving special
shaped items. You can jog the spindle out over any position of the T-slot table. Once you
do this, that will now be the home position of the machine. The home position is the point
at which the engraver references the engraving off of.
